My 3rd baby was the most over due baby... My first was 9 days, second was 7 days and 3rd was 10 days past due... Mind you, I almost didn't make it to the hospital for delivery once labor started... It came fast and furious... I arrived at the hospital about 305am and had her at 309am..

Everybody is different and if you seem to be having your babies around the 39 week mark, it's possible for the 3rd to follow the same pattern, or be on time or be over due :)

My midwife said usually the third birth is more similar to the first one then the second birth. So if you went late with the first it's often the same with teh third even if the second came earlier. I don't know why that is. With my first I had him four days early. My second was 15 days early. We'll see what happens this time.

NY first child's labor was 8 hours. My second was about 7. My third wasabout three hours maximum. We live an hour away from a hospital. We got there in time for a nurse to catch the baby. This one, I will try to be as close to the hospital as possible before it's time.

With my first my water broke at 40 weeks 6 days (but I never went into labor on my own)

Second I was induced at 40 weeks 5 days, I believe.

Only with the third did I actually go into labor on my own at 38 weeks 6 days. Water fully broke at home and he was born 3 hours later! Although the dr did strip my membranes 3 or 4 days prior, so that probably got stuff moving.
